Abstract
Organic transformation by light-driven catalysis, especially, photocatalysis and photothermal catalysis, denoted as photo(thermal) catalysis, is an efficient, green, and economical route to produce value-added compounds. In recent years, owing to their diverse structure types, tunable pore sizes, and abundant active sites, metal-organic framework (MOF)-based photo(thermal) catalysis has attracted broad interest in organic transformations. In this review, we provide a comprehensive and systematic overview of MOF-based photo(thermal) catalysis for organic transformations. First, the general mechanisms, unique advantages, and strategies to improve the performance of MOFs in photo(thermal) catalysis are discussed. Then, outstanding examples of organic transformations over MOF-based photo(thermal) catalysis are introduced according to the reaction type. In addition, several representative advanced characterization techniques used for revealing the charge reaction kinetics and reaction intermediates of MOF-based organic transformations by photo(thermal) catalysis are presented. Finally, the prospects and challenges in this field are proposed. This review aims to inspire the rational design and development of MOF-based materials with improved performance in organic transformations by photocatalysis and photothermal catalysis.

Abstract
The global threat posed by antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to public health is an immensurable problem. The effectiveness of treating infections would be more at risk in the absence of effective antimicrobials. Researchers have shown an amplified interest in alternatives, such as developing advanced metallic nanohybrids as new therapeutic candidates for antibiotics due to their promising effectiveness against resistant microorganisms. In recent decades, the antimicrobial activity of monometallic nanoparticles has received extensive study and solid proof, providing new opportunities for developing multimetallic nanohybrid antimicrobials. Advanced metallic nanohybrids are an emerging remedy for a number of issues that develop in the field of medicine. Advanced metallic nanohybrids have shown a promising ability to combat resistant microorganisms due to their overall synergistic activity. Formulating advanced multimetallic nanohybrids falling under the umbrella of the growing field of nanoarchitectonics, which extends beyond nanotechnology. The underlying theory of nanoarchitectonics involves utilizing nanoscale units that follow the concepts of nanotechnology to architect nanomaterials. This review focuses on a comprehensive description of antimicrobial mechanisms of metallic nanohybrids and their enabling future insights on the research directions of developing the nanoarchitectonics of advanced multimetallic nanohybrids as novel antibiotics through their synergistic activity.

Abstract
Alloying has proven power to upgrade metallic electrocatalysts, while the traditional alloys encounter limitation for optimizing electronic structures of surface metallic sites in a continuous manner. High-entropy alloys (HEAs) overcome this limitation by manageably tuning the adsorption/desorption energies of reaction intermediates. Recently, the marriage of nanotechnology and HEAs has made considerable progresses for renewable energy technologies, showing two important trends of size diminishment and multidimensionality. This review is dedicated to summarizing recent advances of HEAs that are rationally designed for energy electrocatalysis. We first explain the advantages of HEAs as electrocatalysts from three aspects: high entropy, nanometer, and multidimension. Then, several structural regulation methods are proposed to promote the electrocatalysis of HEAs, involving the thermodynamically nonequilibrium synthesis, regulating the (sub-)nanosize and anisotropic morphologies, as well as engineering the atomic ordering. The general relationship between the electronic structures and electrocatalytic properties of HEAs is further discussed. Finally, we outline remaining challenges of this field, aiming to inspire more sophisticated HEA-based nanocatalysts.

First synthesis of RuSn solid-solution alloy nanoparticles and their enhanced hydrogen evolution reaction activity. Chem Sci 2024; 15:7560-7567.

Abstract
Solid-solution alloys based on platinum group metals and p-block metals have attracted much attention due to their promising potential as materials with a continuously fine-tunable electronic structure. Here, we report on the first synthesis of novel solid-solution RuSn alloy nanoparticles (NPs) by electrochemical cyclic voltammetry sweeping of RuSn@SnOx NPs. High-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy maps confirmed the random and homogeneous distribution of Ru and Sn elements in the alloy NPs. Compared with monometallic Ru NPs, the RuSn alloy NPs showed improved hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance. The overpotentials of Ru0.94Sn0.06 NPs/C and Ru0.87Sn0.13 NPs/C to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2 were 43.41 and 33.19 mV, respectively, which are lower than those of monometallic Ru NPs/C (53.53 mV) and commercial Pt NPs/C (55.77 mV). The valence-band structures of the NPs investigated by hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy demonstrated that the d-band centre of RuSn NPs shifted downward compared with that of Ru NPs. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption near-edge structure analyses indicated that in the RuSn alloy NPs, charge transfer occurs from Sn to Ru, which was considered to result in a downward shift of the d-band centre in RuSn NPs and to regulate the adsorption energy of intermediate Hads effectively, and thus enable the RuSn solid-solution alloy NPs to exhibit excellent HER catalytic properties.

Abstract
The properties of solids could be largely affected by their crystal structures. We achieved, for the first time, the phase control of solid-solution RuIn nanoparticles (NPs) from face-centred cubic (fcc) to hexagonal close-packed (hcp) crystal structures by hydrogen heat treatment. The effect of the crystal structure of RuIn alloy NPs on the catalytic performance in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was also investigated. In the hcp RuIn NPs, enhanced HER catalytic performance was observed compared to the fcc RuIn NPs and monometallic Ru NPs. The intrinsic electronic structures of the NPs were investigated by valence-band X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (VB-XPS). The d-band centre of hcp RuIn NPs obtained from VB-XPS was deeper than that of fcc RuIn NPs and monometallic Ru NPs, which is considered to enable the hcp RuIn NPs to exhibit enhanced HER catalytic performance.

Abstract
Plasmonic Schottky devices have attracted considerable attention for use in practical applications based on photoelectric conversion, because they enable light to be harvested below the bandgap of semiconductors. In particular, silicon-based (Si) plasmonic Schottky devices have great potential for useful photodetection in the near-infrared region. However, the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) values of previously reported devices are low because the Schottky barrier is excessively high. Here, we are the first to develop AuAg nanoalloy-n-type Si plasmonic Schottky devices by cathodic arc plasma deposition. Interestingly, it is found that a novel nanostructure, which leads to the improvement of responsivities, is formed. Moreover, these plasmonic nanostructures can be fabricated in only ∼1 min. The fabricated AuAg nanoparticle-film structure enables proper control of the Schottky barrier height and increases the area of the Schottky interface for electron transfer. As a result, the considerably enhanced IQE of our device at a telecommunication wavelength of 1310 nm (1550 nm) without external bias is 4.6 (6.5) times higher than those in previous reports, and these responsivities are a record high. This approach can be applied to realize efficient photodetection in the NIR region and extend the use of light below the bandgap of semiconductors. This paves the way for future application advancements in a variety of fields, including photodetection, imaging, photovoltaics, and photochemistry.

Abstract
Crystal-phase-engineering provides a powerful strategy for regulating the catalytic performance yet remains great challenge. Herein, the kinetic-modulated crystal-phase-control of Ru nanosheet assemblies (Ru NAs) is demonstrated by simply altering the concentration of citric acid (CA). Detailed experimental results reveal that high concentration of CA retards the growth kinetics and thus leads to the formation of metastable face-centered cubic (fcc) Ru NAs, while low concentration of CA results in the fast growth kinetics and the preferential formation of Ru NAs with stable hexagonal close packed (hcp) phase. Moreover, Ru NAs with different phases are used as catalyst for hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) to evaluate the effects of crystal phase on catalytic performance. Impressively, Ru NAs with fcc phase display a mass activity of 2.75 A mgRu -1 at 50 mV, which is much higher than those of Ru NAs with fcc/hcp (1.02 A mgRu -1 ) and hcp (0.74 A mgRu -1 ) phases. Theoretical calculations show that fcc Ru NAs display weaker adsorption toward * H and lower energy barrier toward the rate-determining step (RDS) during HOR. This work provides a facile strategy for regulating the crystal phase of Ru nanocrystals, which may attract rapid interests of researchers in materials, chemistry, and catalysis.

Abstract
The physicochemical properties and catalytic performance of transition metals are highly phase-dependent. Ru-based nanomaterials are superior catalysts toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR), but studies are mostly limited to conventional hexagonal-close-packed (hcp) Ru, mainly arising from the difficulty in synthesizing Ru with pure face-centered-cubic (fcc) phase. Herein, we report a crystal-phase-dependent catalytic study of MoOx-modified Ru (MoOx-Ru fcc and MoOx-Ru hcp) for bifunctional HER and HOR. MoOx-Ru fcc is proven to outperform MoOx-Ru hcp in catalyzing both HER and HOR with much higher catalytic activity and more durable stability. The modification effect of MoOx gives rise to optimal adsorption of H and OH especially on fcc Ru, which thus has resulted in the superior catalytic performance. This work highlights the significance of phase engineering in constructing superior electrocatalysts and may stimulate more efforts on phase engineering of other metal-based materials for diversified applications.

Abstract
The synergistic effects of strain and crystal phase on the reaction activity of nitrogen molecule dissociation have been studied using density functional theory calculations on Ru(0001) surfaces with multilayered hexagonal close-packed structures. The phase transformation from hexagonal close-packed phase (2H) to face-centered cubic (3C) phase or unconventional phases (4H, DHCP, 6H1, and 6H2) would occur under the uniaxial tensile strain loaded along the c axis. The close-packed surfaces of unconventional crystal phases show an enhanced chemical reactivity for N adsorption due to the upshifted d-band center of Ru. However, the N2 adsorption energy is almost independent of the applied strain and crystal phase. The optimized catalytic activity of Ru(0001) surfaces with the unconventional phases is found for the N2 dissociation through breaking the scaling relationships between the reaction barrier and reaction energy. Our results indicate that the strain-induced phase transformation is an effective method to improve the catalytic activity of noble metal catalysts toward the N2 dissociation reaction.

Abstract
Alloy nanoparticles (NPs), including core-shell, segregated and solid-solution types, show a variety of attractive properties such as catalytic and optical properties and are used in a wide range of applications. Precise control and good reproducibility in the syntheses of alloy NPs are highly demanded because these properties are tunable by controlling alloy structures, compositions, particle sizes, and so on. To improve the efficiency and reproducibility of their syntheses, continuous-flow syntheses with various types of reactors have recently been developed instead of the current mainstream approach, batch syntheses. In this review, we focus on the continuous-flow syntheses of alloy NPs and first overview the flow syntheses of NPs, especially of alloy NPs. Subsequently, the details of flow reactors and their chemistry to synthesize core-shell, segregated, solid-solution types of alloy NPs, and high-entropy alloy NPs are introduced. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives in this field are discussed.

Abstract
Crystal phase, an intrinsic characteristic of crystalline materials, is one of the key parameters to determine their physicochemical properties. Recently, great progress has been made in the synthesis of nanomaterials with unconventional phases that are different from their thermodynamically stable bulk counterparts via various synthetic methods. A nanocrystalline material can also be viewed as an assembly of atoms with long-range order. When larger entities, such as nanoclusters, nanoparticles, and microparticles, are used as building blocks, supercrystalline materials with rich phases are obtained, some of which even have no analogues in the atomic and molecular crystals. The unconventional phases of nanocrystalline and supercrystalline materials endow them with distinctive properties as compared to their conventional counterparts. This Review highlights the state-of-the-art progress of nanocrystalline and supercrystalline materials with unconventional phases constructed from multiscale building blocks, including atoms, nanoclusters, spherical and anisotropic nanoparticles, and microparticles. Emerging strategies for engineering their crystal phases are introduced, with highlights on the governing parameters that are essential for the formation of unconventional phases. Phase-dependent properties and applications of nanocrystalline and supercrystalline materials are summarized. Finally, major challenges and opportunities in future research directions are proposed.

Abstract
An unprecedented magic number cluster, Au24Cl x (x = 0-3), was selectively synthesized by the kinetically controlled reduction of the Au precursor ions in a microfluidic mixer in the presence of a large excess of poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP). The atomic structure of the PVP-stabilized Au24Cl x was investigated by means of aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy (ACTEM) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. ACTEM video imaging revealed that the Au24Cl x clusters were stable against dissociation but fluctuated during the observation period. Some of the high-resolution ACTEM snapshots were explained by DFT-optimized isomeric structures in which all the constituent atoms were located on the surface. This observation suggests that the featureless optical spectrum of Au24Cl x is associated with the coexistence of distinctive isomers. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy of CO adsorbates revealed the electron-rich nature of Au24Cl x clusters due to the interaction with PVP. The Au24Cl x :PVP clusters catalyzed the aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol derivatives without degradation. Hammett analysis and the kinetic isotope effect indicated that the hydride elimination by Au24Cl x was the rate-limiting step with an apparent activation energy of 56 ± 3 kJ/mol, whereas the oxygen pressure dependence of the reaction kinetics suggested the involvement of hydrogen abstraction by coadsorbed O2 as a faster process.

Abstract
Since 1970, people have been making every endeavor to reduce toxic emissions from automobiles. After the development of a three-way catalyst (TWC) that concurrently converts three harmful gases, carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HCs), and nitrogen oxides (NOx ), Rh became an essential element in automobile technology because only Rh works efficiently for catalytic NOx reduction. However, due to the sharp price spike in 2007, numerous efforts have been made to replace Rh in TWCs. Nevertheless, Rh remains irreplaceable, and now, the price of Rh is increasing significantly again. Here, it is demonstrated that PdRuM ternary solid-solution alloy nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit highly durable and active TWC performance, which will result in a significant reduction in catalyst cost compared to Rh. This work provides insights into the design of highly durable and efficient functional alloy NPs, guiding how to best take advantage of the configurational entropy in addition to the mixing enthalpy.

Abstract
Metallic nanostructures are commonly densely packed into a few packing variants with slightly different atomic packing factors. The structural aspects and physicochemical properties related with the vacancies in such nanostructures are rarely explored because of lack of an effective way to control the introduction of vacancy sites. Highly voided metallic nanostructures with ordered vacancies are however energetically high lying and very difficult to synthesize. Here, we report a chemical method for synthesis of hierarchical Rh nanostructures (Rh NSs) composed of ultrathin nanosheets, composed of hexagonal close-packed structure embedded with nanodomains that adopt a vacated Barlow packing with ordered vacancies. The obtained Rh NSs exhibit remarkably enhanced electrocatalytic activity and stability toward the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline media. Theoretical calculations reveal that the exceptional electrocatalytic performance of Rh NSs originates from their unique vacancy structures, which facilitate the adsorption and dissociation of H2O in the HER.

Abstract
Synthesis of the unconventional phase of noble metal nanocrystals may create new opportunities in exploring intriguing physicochemical properties but remains challenging. In the research field of thin film growth, the interface strain offers a general driving force to stabilize the metastable phase of epitaxial film. Herein we extend this concept to the field of noble metal nanocrystals and report the solution synthesis of metastable face-centered tetragonal Au that has not been discovered before. The successful synthesis relies on the formation of intermetallic AuCu3@Au core-shell structure, where the interface strain stabilizes the metastable fct Au overlayer. Compared with the face-centered cubic Au counterpart, the metastable fct Au shows greatly improved catalytic activity toward CO2 reduction to CO. The density functional theory calculations and spectroscopic studies reveal that the metastable fct Au upshifts the d-band center, which lowers the energy barrier of key intermediate COOH* formation and thus facilitates the reaction kinetics.

Abstract
Rational design and synthesis of noble metal nanomaterials with desired crystal phases (atomic level) and controllable structures/morphologies (mesoscopic level) are paramount for modulating their physiochemical properties. However, it is challenging to simultaneously explore atomic crystal-phase structures and ordered mesoscopic morphologies. Here, we report a simple synergistic templating strategy for the preparation of palladium-boron (Pd-B) nanoparticles with precisely controllable crystal-phases and highly ordered mesostructures. The engineering of crystal-phase structures at atomic levels is achieved by interstitially inserting metallic B atoms into face-centered cubic mesoporous Pd (fcc-mesoPd) confined in a mesoporous silica template. With the gradual insertion of B atoms, fcc-mesoPd is transformed into fcc-mesoPd5B, hcp-mesoPd2B with randomly distributed B atoms (hcp-mesoPd2B-r), and hcp-mesoPd2B with an atomically ordered B sequence (hcp-mesoPd2B-o) while preserving well-defined mesostructures. This synergistic templating strategy can be extended to engineer crystal-phase structures with various mesostructures/morphologies, including nanoparticles, nanobundles, and nanorods. Moreover, we investigate the crystal-phase-dependent catalytic performance toward the reduction reaction of p-nitrophenol and find that hcp-mesoPd2B-o displays much better catalytic activity. This work thus paves a new way for the synthesis of hcp-Pd2B nanomaterials with mesoscopically ordered structure/morphology and offers new insights of fcc-to-hcp evolution mechanisms which could be applied on other noble metal-based nanomaterials for various targeted applications.

Abstract
The platinum-group metals (PGMs) are six neighboring elements in the periodic table of the elements. Each PGM can efficiently promote unique reactions, and therefore, alloying PGMs would create ideal catalysts for complex or multistep reactions that involve several reactants and intermediates. Thus, high-entropy-alloy (HEA) nanoparticles (NPs) of all six PGMs (denoted as PGM-HEA) having a great variety of adsorption sites on their surfaces could be ideal candidates to catalyze complex reactions. Here, we report for the first time PGM-HEA and demonstrate that PGM-HEA efficiently promotes the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) with complex 12-electron/12-proton transfer processes. PGM-HEA shows 2.5 (3.2), 6.1 (9.7), and 12.8 (3.4) times higher activity than the commercial Pd/C, Pd black and Pt/C catalysts in terms of intrinsic (mass) activity, respectively. Remarkably, it records more than 1.5 times higher mass activity than the most active catalyst to date. Our findings pave the way for promoting complex or multistep reactions that are seldom realized by mono- or bimetallic catalysts.

Abstract
Phase has emerged as an important structural parameter - in addition to composition, morphology, architecture, facet, size and dimensionality - that determines the properties and functionalities of nanomaterials. In particular, unconventional phases in nanomaterials that are unattainable in the bulk state can potentially endow nanomaterials with intriguing properties and innovative applications. Great progress has been made in the phase engineering of nanomaterials (PEN), including synthesis of nanomaterials with unconventional phases and phase transformation of nanomaterials. This Review provides an overview on the recent progress in PEN. We discuss various strategies used to synthesize nanomaterials with unconventional phases and induce phase transformation of nanomaterials, by taking noble metals and layered transition metal dichalcogenides as typical examples. Moreover, we also highlight recent advances in the preparation of amorphous nanomaterials, amorphous-crystalline and crystal phase-based hetero-nanostructures. We also provide personal perspectives on challenges and opportunities in this emerging field, including exploration of phase-dependent properties and applications, rational design of phase-based heterostructures and extension of the concept of phase engineering to a wider range of materials.

Abstract
The structure-property engineering of phase-based materials for redox-reactive energy conversion and environmental decontamination nanosystems, which are crucial for achieving feasible and sustainable energy and environment treatment technology, is discussed. An exhaustive overview of redox reaction processes, including electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and photoelectrocatalysis, is given. Through examples of applications of these redox reactions, how structural phase engineering (SPE) strategies can influence the catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability is constructively reviewed and discussed. As observed, to date, much progress has been made in SPE to improve catalytic redox reactions. However, a number of highly intriguing, unresolved issues remain to be discussed, including solar photon-to-exciton conversion efficiency, exciton dissociation into active reductive/oxidative electrons/holes, dual- and multiphase junctions, selective adsorption/desorption, performance stability, sustainability, etc. To conclude, key challenges and prospects with SPE-assisted redox reaction systems are highlighted, where further development for the advanced engineering of phase-based materials will accelerate the sustainable (active, reliable, and scalable) production of valuable chemicals and energy, as well as facilitate environmental treatment.

Abstract
Recently, crystal-phase engineering has been emerging as a promising strategy to tune the physicochemical properties of noble metal catalysts and further improve their catalytic performance. However, the synthesis of noble metal catalysts with an unconventional crystal phase as well as desired composition and morphology still remains a great challenge. Herein, a series of PdM (M = Zn, Cd, ZnCd) nanosheets (NSs) with thickness less than 5 nm have been synthesized via a facile one-pot wet-chemical method. In particular, different from the conventional face-centered cubic (fcc) phase, PdM NSs possess an unconventional face-centered tetragonal (fct) phase. As a proof-of-concept application, the fct PdZn NSs exhibit significantly enhanced mass activity and stability in ethanol oxidation reaction, compared to the pure Pd NSs and commercial Pd black catalyst.

Abstract
Crystal phase engineering is a promising strategy to tune the catalytic performance of metal nanomaterials. Generally, the crystal phase effect on catalysis is ascribed to distinct surface atomic arrangements of catalysts with different crystal phases. Here we show that even for similar surfaces, such as the close-packed surfaces, different crystal phases have considerably different surface reactivities due to their distinct intrinsic surface strains. Using first-principles calculations, we find that the close-packed surfaces of hexagonal close-packed (HCP) and double HCP (4H) gold have significantly smaller intrinsic strains (∼1.3%) than those of face-centered cubic (FCC) gold (∼2.3%). These distinct intrinsic surface strains result in various oxygen adsorption energies and O2 dissociation barriers on these close-packed gold surfaces, and the dissociation of O2 on different crystal phases and surfaces follows the Brønsted-Evans-Polanyi principle.

Abstract
Twinning commonly exists in noble metals. In recent years, it has attracted increasing interest as it is powerful to tune the physicochemical properties of metallic nanomaterials. To the best of our knowledge, all the reported twinned noble metal structures exclusively possess the close-packed {111} twinning plane. Here, we report the discovery of non-close-packed twinning planes in our synthesized Au nanokites. By using the bent Au nanoribbons with unique 4H/face-centered cubic)/4H crystal-phase heterostructures as templates, Au nanokites with unusual twinned 4H-phase structures have been synthesized, which possess the non-close-packed {10\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

The discovery of 4H-phase twinned noble metal nanostructures may pave a way for the preparation of metal nanomaterials with unique twinned structures for various promising applications. Twinning is a powerful approach to engineering the physicochemical properties of metallic nanomaterials. Here, the authors discover unusual non-close-packed twinning planes in 4H-phase gold nanokites and show that they can be used as templates to grow 4H-phase twinned nanostructures of other noble metals.

Anchoring Pt Single Atoms on Te Nanowires for Plasmon-Enhanced Dehydrogenation of Formic Acid at Room Temperature. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2019; 6:1900006. [PMID: 31380161 PMCID: PMC6662073 DOI: 10.1002/advs.201900006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2018] [Revised: 03/19/2019] [Indexed: 05/19/2023]
Abstract
Formic acid (HCOOH), as a promising hydrogen carrier, is renewable, safe, and nontoxic. However, the catalytic dehydrogenation of HCOOH is typically conducted at elevated temperature. Here, HCOOH decomposition is successfully achieved for hydrogen production on the developed Pt single atoms modified Te nanowires with the Pt mass loading of 1.1% (1.1%Pt/Te) at room temperature via a plasmon-enhanced catalytic process. Impressively, 1.1%Pt/Te delivers 100% selectivity for hydrogen and the highest turnover frequency number of 3070 h-1 at 25 °C, which is significantly higher than that of Pt single atoms and Pt nanoclusters coloaded Te nanowires, Pt nanocrystals decorated Te nanowires, and commercial Pt/C. A plasmonic hot-electron driven mechanism rather than photothermal effect domains the enhancement of catalytic activity for 1.1%Pt/Te under light. The transformation of HCOO* to CO2 δ -* on Pt atoms is proved to be the rate-determining step by further mechanistic studies. 1.1%Pt/Te exhibits tremendous catalytic activity toward the decomposition of HCOOH owing to its plasmonic hot-electron driven mechanism, which efficiently stimulates the rate-determining step. In addition, hot electrons generated by the Te atoms nearby Pt single atoms are regarded to directly inject into the reactants adsorbed and activated on Pt single atoms.

Abstract
Au and Ru are elements that are immiscible in the bulk state and have the largest gap in reduction potential among noble metals. Here, for the first time, Au x Ru1-x solid-solution alloy nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully synthesized over the whole composition range through a chemical reduction method. Powder X-ray diffraction and scanning transmission electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy showed that Au and Ru atoms are homogeneously mixed at the atomic level. We investigated the catalytic performance of Au x Ru1-x NPs for the oxygen evolution reaction, for which Ru is well known to be one of the best monometallic catalysts, and we found that even alloying with a small amount of Au could significantly enhance the catalytic performance.

Abstract
One of the key issues for an upcoming hydrogen energy-based society is to develop highly efficient hydrogen-storage materials. Among the many hydrogen-storage materials reported, transition-metal hydrides can reversibly absorb and desorb hydrogen, and have thus attracted much interest from fundamental science to applications. In particular, the Pd-H system is a simple and classical metal-hydrogen system, providing a platform suitable for a thorough understanding of ways of controlling the hydrogen-storage properties of materials. By contrast, metal nanoparticles have been recently studied for hydrogen storage because of their unique properties and the degrees of freedom which cannot be observed in bulk, i. e., the size, shape, alloying, and surface coating. In this review, we overview the effects of such degrees of freedom on the hydrogen-storage properties of Pd-related nanomaterials, based on the fundamental science of bulk Pd-H. We shall show that sufficiently understanding the nature of the interaction between hydrogen and host materials enables us to control the hydrogen-storage properties though the electronic-structure control of materials.

Abstract
Tuning the morphology and structural evolution of metal nanoparticles to expose specific crystal facets in a certain reaction atmosphere is conducive to designing catalysts with a high catalytic activity. Herein, coverage dependent hydrogen adsorption on seven fcc Ru surfaces was investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The morphology evolution of the fcc Ru nanoparticles under the reactive environment was further illustrated using the multiscale structure reconstruction (MSR) model, which combines the DFT results with the Fowler-Guggenheim (F-G) adsorption isotherm and the Wulff construction. At constant pressure, the shape of a fcc Ru nanoparticle changes from a rhombic dodecahedron to a truncated octahedron with an increase of the temperature. More importantly, the desired Ru morphology, with abundant open facets, was predicted to occur at a high temperature and low pressure. Our results provide an insightful understanding of the reshaping of Ru nanoparticles during real reactions, which is crucial for its rational design for use as a nanocatalyst.

Abstract
Tin-based nanomaterials have been of increasing interest in many fields such as alkali-ion batteries, gas sensing, thermoelectric devices, and solar cells. Finely controllable structures and compositions of tin-based nanomaterials are crucial to improve their performances. The solution-based colloidal synthesis of these compounds offers a promising path toward controlling their structures and components. This feature article summarizes the progress in recent studies on the colloidal synthesis of tin-based nanomaterials (such as metallic tin, alloys, oxides, chalcogenides, and phosphides) and their applications in alkali-ion batteries including our own recent contributions to this subject. The challenges and future outlook of the controllable synthesis and practical development of tin-based anode materials are also addressed.

Abstract
Although Ir or Au is not active for ORR, we first demonstrate highly active Au0.5Ir0.5 alloy by emulating Pt LDOS profile.
The electronic structure of surface atoms has a great effect on catalytic activity because the binding energy of reactants is closely related to the electronic structure. Therefore, designing and controlling the local density of states (LDOS) of the catalyst surface would be a rational way to develop innovative catalysts. Herein, we first demonstrate a highly active AuIr solid-solution alloy electrocatalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) by emulating the Pt LDOS profile. The calculated LDOS of Ir atoms on the Au0.5Ir0.5(111) surface closely resembled that of Pt(111), resulting in suitable oxygen adsorption energy on the alloy surface for the ORR. We successfully synthesized AuIr solid-solution alloys, while Ir and Au are immiscible even above their melting points in the bulk state. Although monometallic Ir or Au is not active for the ORR, the synthesized Au0.5Ir0.5 alloy demonstrated comparable activity to Pt at 0.9 V versus a reversible hydrogen electrode.

Abstract
Nanoemulsions (NEs) comprising ionic liquids (ILs); ethanolammonium formate (HO-EOAF), proliniumisopropylester dioctylsulfosuccinate ([ProC3][AOT]), and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, ([Bmim][NTf2]) as insoluble hydrophilic, surface active, and hydrophobic components have been constructed. This novel class of colloidal formulations exhibited several contrasting properties vis-à-vis conventional water-in-oil or water-in-ionic liquid or nonaqueous NEs such as (i) spontaneous formation, (ii) thermodynamic stability and isotropic nature, (iii) decrease of droplet size with increase in polar medium concentration, and (iv) high thermal and kinetic stability. Mechanisms and characteristics for such anomalies have been investigated by physical, spectroscopic, and imaging techniques. NEs have been demonstrated as versatile recyclable nanoreactors for user-friendly synthesis of materials such as metal-organic frameworks/light harvesting hybrid systems. We anticipate that this development will lead to the construction of several other need-based "all ionic-liquid nanoemulsions" in view of the flexibility provided by the tailoring nature of ILs.

Abstract
The rational design and synthesis of anisotropic 3D nanostructures with specific composition, morphology, surface structure, and crystal phase is of significant importance for their diverse applications. Here, the synthesis of well-crystalline lotus-thalamus-shaped Pt-Ni anisotropic superstructures (ASs) via a facile one-pot solvothermal method is reported. The Pt-Ni ASs with Pt-rich surface are composed of one Ni-rich "core" with face-centered cubic (fcc) phase, Ni-rich "arms" with hexagonal close-packed phase protruding from the core, and facet-selectively grown Pt-rich "lotus seeds" with fcc phase on the end surfaces of the "arms." Impressively, these unique Pt-Ni ASs exhibit superior electrocatalytic activity and stability toward the hydrogen evolution reaction under alkaline conditions compared to commercial Pt/C and previously reported electrocatalysts. The obtained overpotential is as low as 27.7 mV at current density of 10 mA cm-2 , and the turnover frequency reaches 18.63 H2 s-1 at the overpotential of 50 mV. This work provides a new strategy for the synthesis of highly anisotropic superstructures with a spatial heterogeneity to boost their promising application in catalytic reactions.

Abstract
In recent decades, researchers have devoted tremendous effort into the rational design and controlled synthesis of metal nanomaterials with well-defined size, morphology, composition, and structure, and great achievements have been reached. However, the crystal-phase engineering of metal nanomaterials still remains a big challenge. Recent research has revealed that the crystal phase of metal nanomaterials can significantly alter their properties, arising from the distinct atomic arrangement and modified electronic structure. Until now, it has been relatively uncommon to synthesize metal nanomaterials with novel crystal phases in spite of the fact that these nanostructures would be promising for various applications. Here, the research progress regarding the fine control of noble metal (Au, Ag, Ru, Rh, Pd) and non-noble metal (Fe, Co, Ni) nanomaterials with novel crystal phases is reviewed. First, synthesis strategies and their phase transformations are summarized, while highlighting the peculiar characteristics of each element. The phase-dependent properties are then discussed by providing representative examples. Finally, the challenges and perspectives in this emerging field are proposed.

Abstract
Binary solid-solution alloys generally adopt one of three principal crystal lattices—body-centred cubic (bcc), hexagonal close-packed (hcp) or face-centred cubic (fcc) structures—in which the structure is dominated by constituent elements and compositions. Therefore, it is a significant challenge to selectively control the crystal structure in alloys with a certain composition. Here, we propose an approach for the selective control of the crystal structure in solid-solution alloys by using a chemical reduction method. By precisely tuning the reduction speed of the metal precursors, we selectively control the crystal structure of alloy nanoparticles, and are able to selectively synthesize fcc and hcp AuRu3 alloy nanoparticles at ambient conditions. This approach enables us to design alloy nanomaterials with the desired crystal structures to create innovative chemical and physical properties. The crystal structure of a solid-solution alloy is generally determined by its elemental composition, limiting synthetic control over the alloy’s properties. Here, the authors are able to selectively control the crystal structure of Au–Ru alloy nanoparticles by rationally tuning the reduction speed of the metal precursors.

Abstract
A high throughput study has been conducted of the Cu 2p3/2, Au 4f7/2, and Pd 3d3/2 X-ray photoemission spectra obtained from a continuous distribution of CuxAuyPd1-x-y alloy samples prepared as a single composition spread alloy film (CSAF). All three elements exhibit shifts of their core level binding energies with respect to their pure states when diluted into the alloy. The Cu 2p3/2 core level shift (CLS) exhibits additional shifts over the composition ranges at which the CuxAuyPd1-x-y alloy transitions between FCC and B2 phases. This discontinuous CLS has been used to map the extent of the B2 phase across the ternary CuxAuyPd1-x-y alloy composition space. The sensitivity of core level binding energies to the alloy phase offers an opportunity to use XPS to study phases in alloy nanoparticles, ultrathin films, and other morphologies that are not amenable to structure determination by diffraction based methods.

Abstract
Noble-metal nanomaterials are attracting increasing research interest due to their promising applications in electrochemical catalysis, for example. Although great efforts have been devoted to the size-, shape-, and architecture-controlled synthesis of noble-metal nanomaterials, their crystal-phase-controlled synthesis is still in its infancy. Here, for the first time, this study reports high-yield synthesis of Au nanorods (NRs) with alternating 4H/face-centered cubic (fcc) crystal-phase heterostructures via a one-pot wet-chemical method. The coexistence of 4H and fcc phases is relatively stable, and the 4H/fcc Au NRs can serve as templates for crystal-phase-controlled epitaxial growth of other metals. As an example, bimetallic 4H/fcc Au@Pd core-shell NRs are synthesized via the epitaxial growth of Pd on 4H/fcc Au NRs. Significantly, the 4H/fcc Au@Pd NRs show superior mass activity toward the ethanol oxidation reaction, i.e., 6.2 and 4.9 times those of commercial Pd black and Pt/C catalysts, respectively. It is believed that this new synthetic strategy can be used to prepare other novel catalysts for various promising applications.

Abstract
Two types of PdCu2 nanoparticles were prepared through one-pot synthesis and a two-step reducing process, named as PdCu2-1 and PdCu2-2, respectively. The morphology and structure of as-prepared samples were investigated by transmission electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry. Results showed that more Pd atoms were buried in the inside of PdCu2-1, whereas more available Pd sites were distributed on the surface of PdCu2-2. The electrochemical measurements indicated that both PdCu2-1 and PdCu2-2 nanoparticles showed a higher electrocatalytic activity than that for pure Pd nanoparticles. In particular, PdCu2-2 predictably exhibited a better stability and durability as well as a lower onset potential and a higher catalytic current density than that of PdCu2-1 toward ethanol oxidation in alkaline media. On the basis of these studies, the formation mechanisms of both the PdCu2 catalysts and the relationship between their structure and properties were discussed in this paper.
